A little less than a decade to that date and come June 1, Dr  M Venkataraya Prabhu will set a record of sorts to excel all his predecessors – most of whom were his own teachers – to become the longest-serving Dean in the history of KMC, Mangaluru. In 2011, little did Dr Prabhu know that he would emulate his illustrious teachers. June 1 will Dr Prabhu exceed the previous record of late Prof KP Ganesan (9-1/2-years). In reaching here, Dr Prabhu has crossed the  6-year stint by Prof M V Chari,  7-years of Prof M P Pai, 7-1/2-years of Prof  B M Hegde, and 8-1/2 years of Prof GD Veliath, all of whom he reveres.

Within a few minutes, the red planet will disappear all of a sudden and appear nowhere in the sky.
